> docker pull gotenberg/gotenberg:latest

Create & start a container

docker run --name gotenbee7x --rm -p 3000:3000 gotenberg/gotenberg:latest gotenberg --api-timeout=1800s --log-level=debug

.NET Core Project Setup

Install nuget package into your project

PM> Install-Package Gotenberg.Sharp.Api.Client

Note: Use v1.x nugets for Gotenberg v6.

Html To Pdf

With embedded assets:

 [HttpGet]
 public async Task<ActionResult> HtmlToPdf([FromServices] GotenbergSharpClient sharpClient)
 {
     var builder = new HtmlRequestBuilder()
         .AddDocument(doc => 
             doc.SetBody(GetBody()).SetFooter(GetFooter())
         ).WithDimensions(dims =>
         {
             dims.SetPaperSize(PaperSizes.A3)
                 .SetMargins(Margins.None)
                 .SetScale(.99);
         }).WithAsyncAssets(async assets => assets.AddItem("some-image.jpg", await GetImageBytes()));

     var req = await builder.BuildAsync();

     var result = await sharpClient.HtmlToPdfAsync(req);

     return this.File(result, "application/pdf", "gotenbergFromHtml.pdf");
 }

Url To Pdf

Url to Pdf with custom page range, header & footer:

public async Task<Stream> CreateFromUrl(string headerPath, string footerPath)
{
	var builder = new UrlRequestBuilder()
		.SetUrl("https://www.cnn.com")
		.ConfigureRequest(config =>
		{
			config.SetPageRanges("1-2");
		})
		.AddAsyncHeaderFooter(async
			doc => doc.SetHeader(await File.ReadAllTextAsync(headerPath))
				  .SetFooter(await File.ReadAllBytesAsync(footerPath)
		)).WithDimensions(dims =>
		{
			dims.SetPaperSize(PaperSizes.A4)
			 .SetMargins(Margins.None)
			 .SetScale(.90)
			 .LandScape();
		});

	var request = await builder.BuildAsync();
	return await _sharpClient.UrlToPdfAsync(request);
}

Merge Office Docs

Merges office documents and configures the request time-out:

public async Task<Stream> DoOfficeMerge(string sourceDirectory)
{
	var builder = new MergeOfficeBuilder()
		.WithAsyncAssets(async a => a.AddItems(await GetDocsAsync(sourceDirectory)));

	var request = await builder.BuildAsync();
	return await _sharpClient.MergeOfficeDocsAsync(request);
}

Markdown to Pdf

Markdown to Pdf conversion with embedded assets:

public async Task<Stream> CreateFromMarkdown()
{
	var builder = new HtmlRequestBuilder()
		.AddAsyncDocument(async
			doc => doc.SetHeader(await this.GetHeaderAsync())
				  .SetBody(await GetBodyAsync())
				  .ContainsMarkdown()
				  .SetFooter(await GetFooterAsync())
		).WithDimensions(dims =>
		{
			dims.UseChromeDefaults().LandScape().SetScale(.90);
		}).WithAsyncAssets(async
			a => a.AddItems(await GetMarkdownAssets())
		));

	var request = await builder.BuildAsync();
	return await _sharpClient.HtmlToPdfAsync(request);
}

Webhook

All request types support webhooks

 public async Task SendUrlToWebhookEndpoint(string headerPath, string footerPath)
 {
     var builder = new UrlRequestBuilder()
         .SetUrl("https://www.cnn.com")
         .ConfigureRequest(reqBuilder =>
         {
             reqBuilder.AddWebhook(hook =>
                 {
                     hook.SetUrl("http://host.docker.internal:5000/api/your/webhookReceiver")
                         .SetErrorUrl("http://host.docker.internal:5000/api/your/webhookReceiver/error")
                         .AddExtraHeader("custom-header", "value");
                 })
                 .SetPageRanges("1-2");
         })
         .AddAsyncHeaderFooter(async
             b => b.SetHeader(await System.IO.File.ReadAllTextAsync(headerPath))
                   .SetFooter(await System.IO.File.ReadAllBytesAsync(footerPath))
         ).WithDimensions(dimBuilder =>
         {
             dimBuilder.SetPaperSize(PaperSizes.A4)
                 .SetMargins(Margins.None)
                 .SetScale(.90)
                 .LandScape();
         });

     await _sharpClient.FireWebhookAndForgetAsync(request);
 }

Merge 15 Urls to one pdf

        .Select(u => new Uri(u));

    var builders = CreateBuilders(sites);

            .AddHeaderFooter(docBuilder =>
            {
                docBuilder.SetHeader(GetHeadFoot(uri.Host.Replace("www.", string.Empty).ToUpper()))
                   .SetFooter(GetHeadFoot(uri.ToString()));
            })
            .WithDimensions(dimBuilder =>

                    .SetScale(.90)
                    .LandScape()

           heading + "</h1></body></html>";
}

{
    var tasks = requests.Select(r => _sharpClient.UrlToPdfAsync(r));
    var results = await Task.WhenAll(tasks);
